Chelsea could face further frustration over Nicolas Jackson after the striker’s move to Bayern Munich fell through at the final hour.
Jackson was furious with Chelsea’s decision to call off the loan deal this summer, with Enzo Maresca clearly feeling he needed another striker at Stamford Bridge following an injury to Liam Delap.
Moves for Delap and Joao Pedro have seen the Senegal international slip down the pecking order in West London, leading to the forward wanting more game time away from the Blues.
Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens have also been added to the forward line, leaving very little room for the player.
Despite Chelsea ordering Jackson to return to Stamford Bridge, having already jetted out to Germany to complete a deal, the player’s agent has been more than vocal on social media.
Now, the transfer saga has taken a new, surprising twist ahead of the transfer deadline on Monday, 1 September, leaving Maresca completely in the dark over the availability of the 24-year-old striker.

Taking to X (1 September), Florian Plettenberg wrote: “Last nght, the loan deal for Nicolas Jackson and Bayern was officially off.
Jackson deal to Bayern is back on!
And Ademola Lookman is still in Italy.”
The striker remains in Germany, attempting to force a move through to Bayern, even despite the Blues wanting him to return following an injury to one of Maresca’s newest stars.
